The ideal candidate will bring deep knowledge of internal controls, regulatory frameworks, and risk assessment practices, coupled with the ability to develop actionable client deliverables and provide strategic guidance on process and compliance improvements.

• Strong knowledge of GAAP, GASB, and GAGAS
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to assess internal controls, evaluate design effectiveness, and recommend improvements

Preferred, but not required:

• Prior experience leading teams and mentoring junior staff

• Develop engagement plans and workpaper templates for client projects
• Execute engagement work plans and ensure timely delivery of high-quality results
• Proactively mentor and develop staff to support efficient project delivery
• Set performance expectations for team members and provide constructive feedback regularly
• Troubleshoot potential engagement issues (e.g., obtain additional documentation or clarification to support findings)
• Draft recommendations for a variety of engagements (e.g., audit findings, business process improvements, corrective action plans, value-add opportunities)
• Support development of client deliverables and presentations
• Contribute to business development efforts, including proposal writing and client relationship support
